I could be wrong, it's just a little suspicion of mine. Even if it is true (which I think it is) there would be nothing I could do about it, so it don't matter.

Hi 40,

Come to think of it, they didn't ask me either, so guess this is not too important since i can't do anything about it either. Have a great evening.

This is all going horribly off-topic but it's an important subject nonetheless.

The fact is that 97% of the US media is controlled by 5 corporations. Now what makes you think that the public get a fair and objective picture of the news?

I'd agree that the news, especially in the UK has a left-leaning bias and this usually manifests itself the form of political correctness which serves only to stifle open, honest and fair debate. However, in my opinion, the media is used by the secret global government, largely to keep itself out of the public eye.

Now I can't prove to you that there is such a thing as dark and subversive secret government, anymore than you can prove to me that there isn't, but I would encourage you to look into it for yourself and come to your own conclusions. I'd recommend checking out the websites in my sig for more information.

It's clear that certain news streams have a politcal bias. FOX tends to be right leaning for example. However, it's my opinion that a fake left/right paradigm is created to distract the plebs from what's really going on in the world.

Just because you've lived in the states all your life, does it necessarily mean that you'd be aware of the secret government.

Don't take my word for anything I say. Look into it for yourself and make your own mind up...And stop obtaining your political information from the glowing idiot-box in the corner of the room!

So we are supposed to believe the nut who says he video taped world leaders performing occult rituals in front of a stone owl?

I'll take even TV news over that....

WHAT!! A minute ago you said the subversive secret government and now you say the corporations control it. Look, you can't have it both ways, is it the secret subversive government or the corporations that control the US media?????

Now what makes you think that the public get a fair and objective picture of the news?

I never said that, I said they are slanted to the left and that it is not fair and objective. Please do not put words in my mouth. I said they could say what they want to and that was slanted left. The corporations or those with money can very well slant the news, but that is a long stretch from a subversive secret government. Those that are not controlled by the large corporations have all the freedom to say what they want without retribution from the government in this country.

I'd agree that the news, especially in the UK has a left-leaning bias and this usually manifests itself the form of political correctness which serves only to stifle open, honest and fair debate. However, in my opinion, the media is used by the secret global government, largely to keep itself out of the public eye.

Now I can't prove to you that there is such a thing as dark and subversive secret government, anymore than you can prove to me that there isn't, but I would encourage you to look into it for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

YOU are the one who brought up a subversive secret government, so give me the proof. I mean, you said it so you need to have some proof, or did you just pull something out of the sky or dream this and expect us to believe it. Please state facts and not opinions when you make a statement like this.

I'd recommend checking out the websites in my sig for more information.

It's clear that certain news streams have a politcal bias. FOX tends to be right leaning for example. However, it's my opinion that a fake left/right paradigm is created to distract the plebs from what's really going on in the world.

I am aware of that, but you need to be aware since you do not live in the states, you may not know as much as you think you do about our government. I mean, if you ever get the government fixed in your country (good luck with that one), then feel free to tell us about our government, but I don't think you can get yours fixed, so don't tell us how ours is. Tell you what, I promise not to tell you how the secret and subversive government is in your country if you don't tell me how ours is in this country.

You almost give the the feeling that you think I am some country bumpkin who does not know anything about our government or country. I know, the name Tumbleweed36 gives you the feeling that you are talking to an uneducated American who does not know which way is up.


Don't take my word for anything I say. Look into it for yourself and make your own mind up...And stop obtaining your political information from the glowing idiot-box in the corner of the room!
First of all, I watch very little of that glowing idiot-box in the corner of the room that you refer to. Second, I don't need to read the links you have given me, because as a Post Graduate educated American with degrees to prove it and working at the University level, I am pretty competent at research.

Therefore, I can think for myself and know very well how to get resources. Lastly, I have looked into the things you have said and have made up my mind in an educated way. Your government may have a subversive secret government, but the USA does not.

Oh, you are correct about one things you said. This has gotten quite off topic, so think I will find something else to deal with so the thread can get back on topic. Therefore, post away and I won't offer any more rebuttal to your far-fetched balterdash.

I do hope you have a great day.

Hi 40,

Tell you what, I am a man of my word and will not comment with the other gentlemen further on the other issue.

However, I do have a question for you. Are you making fun of my name again????????????????????

40, have a great day!

Anyone want to point out that O'reilly's point about the kids not being allowed to wear/use/whatever red or green was flat-out wrong? The superintendent actually sent him a letter asking him to retract the statement, and that in the future he have his fact checkers to do a more thorough job of confirming the facts before he airs them: "It would be our hope that you would engage in fair and balanced reporting of this nationally recognized school district in the future," wrote PISD's attorney.

So yeah. In my opinion, BO is nothing but a self-promoting, pinhead-calling nutjob. And yes, Bill, I have the right to say that about you on the internet, stop crying like a little girl.

No I don't think it is off topic. I heard that Letterman was the president of the secret government and that he says stupid things as to not wreck his cover.
It's all some kind of wacked out conspiracy.

The guy quotes editorials to discredit newspapers. Even if that paper is crappy, how does an editorial do that?


and even if the government does control the media to a degree, what makes you think it's a secret government? What's so secret about it if they're doing it right in front of your face?

Hi Fox,

Can't say that I disagree with anything you have said. This man is the most Egotistical whiner that is on Television.

Self-promoting? You bet he is! Pinhead-calling nutjob? You bet he is! Do you have a right to say that? Yep, in America you do! I don't know about the crying like a little girl, because I have not seen that from him. Oh, he does cry because everyone hates him if that is what you mean. Every night he states how abused he is from the press. He dishes it out, but can not take it when someone fires back or he does not get his way.

Fox, we all know why everyone hates him. He makes us do that.

Have a great evening.

Good. That's a start!

Second, I don't need to read the links you have given me, because as a Post Graduate educated American with degrees to prove it and working at the University level, I am pretty competent at research.

Well research the links then and stop making out-of-hand rejections just because you have several degrees and therfore think you know it all. Rejection without due investigation is the highest form of ignorance.

Your government may have a subversive secret government, but the USA does not.

I contest this point. I believe that the USA is subject to the illuminati, which was founded on May 1, 1776 by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt. It is my opinion that your society is not as free, fair and democratic as you believe it to be.

If your leaders care so much about the American people then why are they allowing 4000 illegal immigrants to flood over your pourous Southern border every night? Why are they persistantly undermining your sacred second amendment right to bear arms? Why have you lost many of your basic civil liberties under the patriot acts? You see, your leaders serve only to further a globalist agenda by undermining your sovereignty whilst wrapping themselves in the flag.


Oh, you are correct about one things you said. This has gotten quite off topic, so think I will find something else to deal with so the thread can get back on topic. Therefore, post away and I won't offer any more rebuttal to your far-fetched balterdash.

I do hope you have a great day.

Same to you! I gotta dash anyway because O'Reilly's on the idiot box!

I suggest coming over here, and living under our system for a while before you pass such judgements on it...

Nobody said the government really cared about us, they care about greed, like every other human on the face of this planet. Corrupt, maybe yes. Subversive and extremely secret and occult? No.
Many of us oppose the patriot act, but that's a discussion for another thread...

Does someone physically have to live in the US to have an objective understanding of it? Besides, I'm not passing judgements, I'm merely expressing an opinion.

I listen to US talk radio practically everyday so I know alot more about your country than you might think.

...And don't get me wrong here, I love America! In fact I prefer it to the UK which is a dingy little overpopulated lsland...And don't talk to me about other European countries!

I actually do think that in order to get the whole thing, you need to live here. Talk radio probably isn't telling everything, IMO.

But to each his own
